Rosario Stornello

Criminal Defense Lawyer With 20+ Years' Experience

I am Attorney Rosario Stornello and I have dedicated my entire legal career to Criminal Law and to representing the people of Texas against a wide range of criminal charges. I attended South Texas College of Law, where I received my Juris Doctorate in 1998. During my time in law school, I served on the Board of Advocates and the Mock Trial Team. I was a law clerk for the distinguished criminal defense law firm of Zimmermann & Lavine P.C. For two years I assisted on numerous types of criminal cases from trial to appeal, many of which were very high profile.

In law school, I concentrated on learning trial skills since my goal was to be a criminal attorney. I was included on the Dean's Honor List and was given a number of great honors in Law School, including many victories at several mock trial competitions.

As a criminal defense attorney, I have been recognized on local and legal platforms for the services offered in the area of criminal defense and the unwavering dedication to represent those whose rights and freedom may be in jeopardy. I am a member of many local, state, and national bar associations. My legal practice has taken me to counties throughout the State of Texas. I have offered services to Texans facing criminal charges in Harris County, Fort Bend County, Galveston County, Brazoria County, Liberty County, Wharton County, Montgomery County, Cameron County, Caldwell County and Waller County. Just to name a few.
